I should be finished set dressing map 16B, all things going well, today. Which means my next task is making counters for the eventual game.
A day of messing around with BS in GIMP. Yay.
It's a slight pain in the bum, but I gotta do it. Blargh.
Also on my agenda today is the usual week tagging and chapter summarising. And of course the offering of A Devil's Tale [the fanficcy version].
Following that, my dear readers, I shall have myself some fun times.
Let's get on with the daily tale.
Yes I am stealing a very silly anime trope that's often used in comedic series especially.

I've already done the meme on Fediverse, I aim to get the daily tale out and do the Patreon posts before I vanish behind the curtain to do the other things. Tagging a week, summarising a

I'm almost to the constant, consensual flirting, kissing, and all the other stuff. Looking forward to it.

Not a chance.

So it's therefore in my best interests to publish my daily offerings and then go the fuck to sleep for the rest of the day.
Let's see how great that goes for me. Luckily, I know where there's a spare caffeine tube.
Speaking of luck - I now have my OG good phone back! I also have a complete stock of

Current working chapter 246.
So now I work on today's offering and nom on Denada carb-free ice cream. Yay.
Tomorrow, I wake up at buttfuck in the morning to stream and talk to myself, belike. Because lots of people will not be present for the thing.
Whee.
Off I go.

I did not get around to set dressing, yesterday. I spent all my minutes on making certain all the tunnels were where they were meant to be. I may yet record some Dumb DM tips on the next map. We shall see if I have the knack down.
Or I might do the next map. It seems like it might be easier.

I shall feed the cats, and work on at least my daily tale. Anything else requires significantly more involvement.
Let's get on with getting on. Starting with the cats. They are, after all, the most important.
